A Seagull Flying On A Dimming Horizon Poem by RIC BASTASA

just that, what do you have to say more about it
just that

a white seagull flying towards a dimming horizon
a ship sailing away

the sun receding towards the other side
deep down the sea and then gone

just that, do not ever say that the seagull is heading home or running away
that is not so, there is no basis for such a personal conclusion
or just another imagination of your own loneliness by
association of that

white seagull flying towards a certain darkness
the ship turning to a dot dissolving on a horizontal line in front of you.
